Thiol-ene Scaffolds as Synthetic Augments and Silicate Ceramics as Osteogenic Components for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications

Bone tissue engineering approaches using polymer/ceramic composites show promise as effective biocompatible, absorbable, and osteoinductive materials. A novel class of in situ polymerizing thiol-acrylate based copolymers synthesized via an amine-catalyzed Michael addition was studied for its potenti...
